W/S. CX.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} from HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} * 746S1 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG30.5.24. 'RECTASKIDS'. We have tried the Hooper limousine fitted with the Rectaskid device and we do not agree with them as regards the improvements made when this device is fitted to the car. At the present time, however, we have two sets of Rectaskid fitted to experimental cars upon which we are carrying out tests in Derby. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
